In this week's #MoneyMagic episode, Vangile interviews Amel Derragui, a business and marketing coach, speaker and the founder of Tandem Nomads (tandemnomads.com). In this podcast Amel talks to us about various aspects of personal and business growth, focusing on themes such as adaptability, mindset shifts around money, the importance of self-awareness, and building businesses aligned with one's li...

In this week's #MoneyMagic episode, I share my personal experience of overcoming public shaming, reclaiming my power, and healing my not-good-enough wound. Back in 2022, I found myself in the midst of public shaming. It was a tough time as embassies worldwide were contacted with false allegations of me being a tourism fraud, and financial services boards were sent letters tarnishing my reputation...

Often, as women, our roles start to shift as we expand, and we find ourselves mothering our mothers in very subtle ways. In our expansion, we tend to take on the role of a mother to our mothers. Sometimes, it’s not that we want it to happen, but we automatically find ourselves doing it, especially when we have the finances and the means.  Mothering our mothers, siblings, and children leaves our in...

In this week’s podcast episode I talk about my experience in working with my inner masculine and my inner feminine and how I had to move from one or the other, to find balance between the two, especially in my approach to money and business. We have been taught that the only way to survive is by becoming super productive and hyper-productive even when our spirit is tired and going through emotiona...

This week on the #MoneyMagic Podcast, I talked to Shanika Malcolm, the founder of Starseed Landing, an organization that focuses on regenerative living, consciousness, and transformation on the planet to help people live in harmony with nature. Shanika is passionate about helping people live an empowered, authentic, and real life.     If you didn’t know, Shanika is the first African American woman...

Most of us have a money set point - a set number we believe we can make or have in our bank accounts. If you want to see your money set point, look at your bank statement. This is the amount of money you will often have in your bank account.     When you surpass this set point, you can find yourself overspending to get back to it. If you find yourself making more money, you can find yourself sabot...

Since I became a full-time entrepreneur and nomad in 2017, the biggest hurdle I had to overcome was to figure out how I would make a consistent income.  How do you build a business where you can start to create a consistent stream of income and continue to serve your customers or clients?  Join me, Vangile, your host in this podcast as I share practical things you can start to implement to start m...

Our journeys in life are like concentric rings on a tree. Any decision you have made before will most times be the basis of what you do today. You will always feel a sense of alignment and confidence when you follow your passions to achieve your dreams. The alignment will be manifested in your ability to manage and thrive in uncertainties. Though it’s hard to live with the certainties of living wi...

It’s completely possible to be invisible and be in front of a million people showcasing your intelligence but never letting them see you. Sharing the theoretical things without showing people who you are and not allowing yourself to be vulnerable or sharing your story can keep you invisible to the very people you’re trying to connect and build trust with. In some cases, this is not a problem, howe...

The last 2 weeks on the #MoneyMagic podcast, I’ve been talking about expansion and the triggers of expansion. This week, I am sharing another Facebook live class I did on growing your business with minimal resources.  Even though we’ve been taught that business is all practical; that’s what I learned at school - the truth is business and expansion are also about mindset and integrating our trauma....

In the previous episode, I spoke about what happens when expansion is the trigger. In this podcast I share exercises you can do when you are triggered by expansion. These exercises are very simple, but they are life-changing because they shed so much light by helping you understand what is actually going on.  Most of us approach money with a lot of heaviness. We look at what everyone is doing, and...

In this week’s podcast, I talk about how the very idea of expansion can be a trigger for us and can actually cause us to shut down. The fear of expanding beyond our family and community is a common fear. Most of us have a sense of dread about this, and the reasons behind this go back to our childhood experiences. To some of us, it comes as fear of rejection and being othered when we expand beyond...

In last week’s podcast episode, I spoke about the fear of not having enough and running out of money. This week I share a podcast episode I did a while back when I was in Sri Lanka on why we do the inner work and why there’s no formula to healing. Even though I don’t mention it in this podcast, I do believe resting and taking days off to focus on pleasure and taking time off for integration is par...

In last week’s podcast episode, I spoke about the fear of spending money. In this week’s episode I talk about the fear of not having enough and running out of money, which is a towering issue for many people in this fast-paced world.  Some of us have tried affirmations to make ourselves feel better about our finances, but that doesn’t work because affirmations only affirm what you already know and...

With a fear of money, it becomes impossible for us to think creatively and make decisions. The more scared we are of spending money, the more difficult it becomes to be rational about our spending. Most of us have no problem saving up money to achieve our goals, but we often become afraid of spending that money.  In today’s podcast I do a live class explaining why we feel unsafe when spending mone...

In this week’s podcast, I share a live class I did in the #MoneyMagic student group when I went on a trip to see the pyramids at Teotihuacan in Mexico City, Mexico. On the trip I learned a lot about the pyramids but the part of the tour that caught my attention was the Moon Temple and all the things the tour guide taught us about the link between the womb and the moon. In this podcast I share what...

Financial goals can be challenging to achieve in today's world, and many people struggle with reaching their economic aspirations. This is especially when you lack clarity on what the idea of financial independence entails. Even if you know how to make the dream into a reality, it can be hard to set concrete and quantifiable goals without the right mindset, peacefulness, and tranquility. When you...

Panic manifestations are common symptoms of money anxiety. It is a sudden, overwhelming feeling that one is not coping with their finances and that something terrible will happen in the near future. Panic manifestations can lead to chronic stress, which can cause physical and mental health problems. They may also lead to financial distress or even suicidal thoughts. A specific event or situation o...

This podcast is a live class I did on Facebook, talking about the sibling wound and how it can play out within families and how that then affects finances. Sibling rivalry is a natural phenomenon that happens in many families, especially when children take on a deputy parenting role. Deputy parent siblings are those children who take on the "parent" role in their family when one parent is absent f...

In today’s podcast episode I share a live class I did a while back on the importance of knowing what you want. I did this live class before the pandemic and shared some of my experiences about Vietnam and Chiang Mai. Being free from debt doesn't mean that you're financially free, but it's a step in the right direction. The key to being financially free is taking the time to really think about what...

In this week’s podcast episode I do a live class talking about how to use your resources to create a consistent stream of income.   Misalignment with your core values might be causing havoc in everything you do in your life. You might be making money, but what about your well being, health and relationships? The further we go out of our alignment, the more our lives tend to suffer. Spending and cr...

Healing isn't always sexy. It’s about going to the dark spaces within ourselves and being able to sit with them, accept them and find peace with them.    Positive affirmations might work for some people, but with unhealed trauma, they are likely to do more harm than good. Healing from trauma is key. It will allow you to be fully present and focused at the moment, and this is when the true magic ha...

In this week’s episode of the #MoneyMagic podcast, I talk about why budgets don't work. If you’re unable to minimize your spending despite doing everything that budgeting calls for, it’s not your fault, and you’re not alone. The truth is that budgets don’t work for most people and yet we keep getting taught to budget and when we fail to stick to a budget we feel ashamed, like there’s something wro...

This week on the #MoneyMagic I talk to LiSara (Formerly Lisa Dennen-Young), an anti-racist Leadership and Life coach, musician, and host of Music Medicine Membership. Lisa’s mission is to support the elevation of voices that have been unheard and to support the use of expression as a vehicle of healing, growth, liberation, and collective empowerment.     LiSara was a forensic linguistic interprete...

This week I talked to Tsitsi Mutiti, an investment manager and a certified financial coach based in the UK. Tsitsi has been in the financial industry for over 13 years since she moved to the UK from Zimbabwe. She started as a secretary and worked her way up to where she is today. Tsitsi got into coaching because she felt there was a gap between high and low niche wealth individuals that she served...
